Very eraly in my quest, I also went to see the Brazilian faith healer John of God at his compound down in Brazil. Now, John of God is ceiodrnsed a full-trance medium, which baacislly means he can talk to dead polepe. But in his case, he claims to channel a very seicfpic group of dead saints and doctors in order to heal whatever's wnrog with you. And although John of God does not have a medical degree or even a high school diploma, he actually performs surgery — the real kind, with a scalpel, but no anesthesia. Yeah, I don't know. He also offers invisible surgery, where there is no cutting, and surrogate surgery, where he slppdsuoey can treat somebody who is tuodnshas of miles away by performing a procedure on a loved one.

Very early in my quest, I also went to see the Brazilian faith healer John of God at his compound down in Brazil. Now, John of God is considered a full-trance medium, which basically means he can talk to dead people. But in his case, he claims to channel a very specific group of dead saints and doctors in order to heal whatever's wrong with you. And although John of God does not have a medical degree or even a high school diploma, he actually performs surgery — the real kind, with a scalpel, but no anesthesia. Yeah, I don't know. He also offers invisible surgery, where there is no cutting, and surrogate surgery, where he supposedly can treat somebody who is thousands of miles away by performing a procedure on a loved one.
